 <title>Business Basics</title>
 <link>http://corvallisedp.com/drupal/node/25</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;It is my belief that a company, no matter how big or small has three main elements.  These are:&lt;br /&gt;
•	Product&lt;br /&gt;
•	Marketing&lt;br /&gt;
•	Financial Management&lt;br /&gt;
If a company is able to achieve balance and perform in these three areas, they will be more readily able to reach their goals.  I will probably spend some additional time writing on this subject in the future.  As simple as it seems, with the barrage of information, tools and consultants available addressing every issue that arises for businesses of any size, this foundation seems to get lost.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;"Never doubt that a small group of concerned citizens can change the world.&lt;br /&gt;
It is, indeed, the only thing that ever has."  -Margaret Mead&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The EDP is a public-private partnership, providing economic development services and support to Benton County and the cities of Corvallis, Philomath, Monroe and Adair Village.  The EDP is committed to ensuring that Benton County remains vital and vibrant; the kind of community where individuals and families can thrive and prosper for a lifetime and for generations. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We certainly have the tools at hand:&lt;br /&gt;
